Frosh executives—Betsy Skotte, Gerry Fair,. Bill Carlson, and Darleen Salkawske
—contemplate plans for remainder of year.
Carlson heads freshmen officers;
upperclassmen help fill two vacancies
John Ylvisaker will be on campus Saturday evening
with his wife Amanda for an 8 p.m. concert in the field-house.
A Ylvisaker concert last spring stirred much dis- .
cussion on campus.
Sen. Mondale criticizes
neglect of human needs
Friday, Oct. 25, Freshmen held
what was to be the final election
for class officers and senators. A
presidential run-off was necessary
when no candidate received at
least 40 percent of the valid votes
cast.
On Friday, with 49.9 percent of
the Frosh voting, write-in presi-dential
Candidate William F. (Bill)
Carlson drew 53 (36.6 percent) of
the 151 valid votes cast in a rather
close contest. This put him four
votes over Bill Ankerberg, but 3.4
percent below the 40 percent re-quired
for a win. Mark Steward
placed third with six votes less
than Ankerberg's 49.
Monday's presidential run-off be-tween
Carlson and Ankerberg. put
Carlson into office with 116 votes
from a total of 172 Freshmen vo-ters.
Gerry Fair claimed the V.P. po-sition
with 87 votes, the highest
number any candidate got on Fri-day.
Marty Mauk drew 56 votes for
that spot.
Betsy Skotte drew the second
highest count with 83 votes over
Norma Wilcox's 61 and became
class Secretary.
The race for Treasurer caused
a good deal of anticipation when
someone posted an election result
with Becki Hopf mistakenly de-feating
Darleen Salkawske for this
office. The uncertainty ended with
Darleen Treasurer by the slim mar-gin
of four votes over Becki.
A fairly even spread of votes for
Freshman Senate candidates elect-ed
Tom Ford, Wendell Wahlin, Sue
Frost, Diane Lundberg and Dave
Barnhart.
The total number of Freshman
void due to extraneous marks , on
voters on Friday was 180. Of these
ballots twenty-nine (yes, 29) were
the ballot or boxes indicated by
marks other than an X. This left
only 151 valid votes, a difference
that could very conceivably have
made a great deal of difference in
the election's results.
Leonard Sammons, Chairman of
the Election Board, suggested that
this high percentage of void bal-lots
(over 16 percent void) may
provide incentive enough for modi-fying
the Election Code to con-sider
valid a ballot with checks
as well as X's to designate a choice.
However, extraneous markings are
unnecessary in any case and will
continue to nullify the entire bal-lot.
SENATOR-AT-LARGE
Upper classmen and Freshmen
joined Monday in electing two Sen-ators-
at-large. Dennis Olson and
John and Amanda Ylvisaker, af-ter
a previous Bethel concert last
spring, return to campus Saturday
night for an 8 p.m. concert in the
field house, sponsored by the Sen-ior
Class.
John Ylvisaker, a Lutheran lay-man,
plays the electric guitar and
sings. His wife Amanda plays the
rock organ and the flute. They
have with them a drummer and
another singer.
Their music is their own; some
of it is popular tunes with new
lyrics. All of it is religious. While
the New Folk, on campus last
week, apologized for their music
and promised not to bring it into
churches, Ylvisaker apologizes for
church music and wants very much
to get his music inside the walls
Tom Mesaros were chosen with 193
and 137 votes respectively. The
other two candidates, Chuck Mybro
and Doug Warring, received 114
and 52 votes respectively.
Sammons said neither Mesaros
nor Olson has ever served as a
Senator. Myrbo, defeated this time,
was elected Senator last year when
an election was held in October to
fill a vacancy. Mesaros filled a
vacancy in the second semester of
his freshman year as vice-presi-dent
of the class.
Freshmen dominated the voting
on Monday by turning in 172 bal-lots
as compared to a total of 144
for the other three classes. 47.4
percent of the Freshmen voted on
Monday and the four classes to-,
gether mustered 32.8 percent of
the student body.
of churches.
Ylvisaker's point is that twenti-eth
century popular culture cannot
relate to eighteenth century church
music. The traditional barrier be-tween
sacred and secular music
makes all of religion somehow
seem not relevant. Ylvisaker is at-tempting
to break down the bar-rier,
and his efforts towards this
end have impressed many listen-ers.
Last spring's Ylvisaker concert
turned out to be more controver-sial
than even the hard rock group
which came to Bethel at Nik Dag
and was an even bigger surprise
than some of the couples. The
Music Projection created a stir be-cause
no one expected to hear the
big beat bouncing off the chapel-ized
walls of the fieldhouse.
Much of the Ylvisakers' music
was the same big beat, but that
was the only aspect of their mu-sic
that would have been at all
out of place in chapel.
Tickets for Saturday's concert
are $1.50. Doors will open at 7:30
and the concert will start at 8 p.m.
"This wealthy nation must do
some profound thinking as to what
is important," Walter Monday, U.S.
Senator from Minnesota, told a
Bethel convocation audience Tues-day.
Mondale, in delivering a concise
thirty-minute address, probably es-tablished
a new mark in brevity
for convocation speakers. With na-tional
elections only a week away,
his presentation displayed a min-imum
of arm waving and a refresh-ing
lack of political gusto.
Talking about the "strange na-tion"
that is America, a "nation
of contrasts," Mondale discussed
some of the internal contradictions
that plague American society. He
accused many Americans, includ-ing
the "law and order" people,
of cultivating a naive outlook. Be-cause
they fail to see the complex-ity
of current social problems, they
advocate simple and unrealistic sol-utions.
"We have yet to face up seri-ously
to the problems of human
denial," Mondale said, referring
not to poverty as simply the ab-sence
of money, but that "total
situation" which can so completely
stifle a child's development in ev-ery
way.
Noting that military expendi-tures
totaled four times more than
expenditures for human programs
combined, Mondale saw' the "fan-tastic"
arms race as a critical is-sue.
"It strips most of the re-sources
which could be used for
human problems," he said.
Mondale pointed out the futility
and danger in pressing for the
U.S., to move ahead in the arms
race. The impoverishment of re-sources
already resulting from mil-itary
expenditures says some tell-ing
things about American prior-ities.
"What do we mean by commit-ment
to human development?"
Monday asked. He noted that there
was a cleavage in methods when
Senator Mondale speaks
to convocation audience.
it came to commitment in differ-ent
areas.
Space scientists or highway en-gineers
are not just given a sum
and told to work within those
that "It's just too bad." They won't
bounds, and if they can't make it,
even undertake anything when ad-equate
resources won't be avail-able,
Monday remarked.
However this is precisely the
approach we take toward human
programs, he said. We refuse to
"work backwards," alotting enough
funds to cover the needs of a
program. Rather, Mondale contin-ued,
we give such programs a cer-tain
amount of funds to work with,
and if it's not enough, "It is just
too bad."
Mondale called for an end to
such an imbalance of priorities.
"We cannot continue to underem-phasize
the need for human op-portunity,"
he said.
Mondale limited his partisan re-marks
to a few infrequent and
muted comments. In the question
and answer session following his
address, he did point to the vice
presidential candidates and sug-gest,
smiling, that -a comparison of
"Muskie with the other two" was
somewhat "devastating."
CLARION sponsors straw vote
The Clarion will sponsor a mock presidential election on campus
next Monday, the day before national elections. Results of the straw
vote will be tabulated and published in next week's paper.
All students and faculty members may participate in the straw vote.
It will be handled through the ticket window in the coffee shop.
Ylvisakers give Saturday concert
One of the important decisions made at the
last meeting of the Board of Education was that
the "cluster college" concept was approved in
general principle. This style of educational life
on the new campus will affect architecture, cirri-culum,
student living.
The basic idea is that learning is much more
than the involvement in fifteen hours of classroom
experience. Undoubtedly much more learning
takes place the other ninety-five hours of the
week.
Consequently the principle of living-learning
has been designed so that both structured and
unstructured learning experiences can be more
meaningful.
The new college campus design will 'include
clusters of dormitories that surround an academic
center housing classrooms, laboratories, library,
arts and music centers, offices, etc.
However, each so called dormitory will be
built with multiple functions in view. They will
be equipped with social recreational places, but
also educational equipment, such as seminar
rooms, listening stations hooked up to a memory
retrival system that can play back lectures, im-portant
non-classroom information, language les-sons,
music selections.
It is designed so that learning can take place
where living is experienced in its highest degree
of constancy.
—from Dr. Virgil Olson's inaugural
address as Dean of the College,
October 3.
Arden Hills campus planning activity
Muskie for Vice President focuses on 'living learning' principle Milt Williams, speaking in the "Negro in American Life"
course, was questioned about his preference in the upcoming
presidential election. His reply was interesting and perceptive.
The difference between Wallace, Nixon, and Humphrey,
Williams said, can be summarized rather simply. Wallace says
that if you lie down in front of his car, he'll run you over.
Nixon says that if you lie down in front of his car, he'll let his
chauffer run over you. And Humphrey says he'll cry for you
while Wallace and Nixon run over you.
That is perhaps one of the most incisive comments yet
made concerning the current presidential candidates. "None of
the three candidates," Williams added, "are relevant to the
present situation in America."
Two days after Williams was on campus, Walter Judd spoke
to a Homecoming audience in the fieldhouse. Speaking about
the Christian's involvement in the political arena, Judd made
it crystal clear that such involvement necessitated difficult de-cisions,
decisions which were by no means matters of black or
white.
The legislator is faced with a good bill with a bad rider
tacked on; which way should he vote? The citizen is faced with
a slate of candidates which he feels is unsatisfactory; how should
he vote? Judd counseled his listeners to ask themselves "what
is the worst thing that could happen? . .. vote for the other."
Starting with Wallace, we say vote for "the other." The
New York Times has said that "He is the political expression
of the school burners and the church bombers and the night
riders." His "law and order" slogan carries an even hollower
ring when one considers the state of Alabama with its high
crime rate, low standard of living, low ranking among the 50
states in education, and so on down the line. America does not
need Wallace's expertise on a national scale.
Turning to Nixon, we could discuss some rather discon-certing
remarks he has made about Viet Nam, the cities, the
supreme court, and so on. However, when we think of Spiro
Agnew being "only a heartbeat away," Judd's adage of "vote
for the other" looms large indeed without even giving Nixon
a second thought.
Agnew, who has worked hard to confirm doubts many had
concerning his qu-alifications for national office at the time of
his nomination, certainly does not inspire confidence as a man
capable of stepping into the presidency. James Doyle in the
Boston Globe characterizes him as a man "bereft of foreign
policy knowledge, who in a few weeks has managed to evade
large issues, mis-step small ones, and vex his opponents with
questionable rhetoric . . . given that his heart is in the right
place, his mind seems not to be." Such a running mate would
be a serious liability to a better candidate than Nixon—together
this duo leaves too much to be desired.
And so the Clarion unenthusiastically backs into an en-dorsement
of Hubert Humphrey. Despite the Chicago blemishes
and everything else, Humphrey's past record seems to offer
more hope than the old, new, and real Nixon combined. And
a look at Agnew convinces us to say, "vote for the other."

Suggests solutions
To the Editor:
In reference to my letter of last
week (complaining of unsigned di-rectives),
I would like to make
two things clear.
One—my apologies to any ad-ministrator
who may have con-strued
my article as speaking sole-ly
to him or her. Personal indict-ments
are not my idea of construc-tive
criticism.
Two—In my letter I hinted at
the larger problems—of informa-tion
or to clear up misunderstand-ings.
Lest I be accused of com-plaining
without offering solutions
I would like to suggest the fol-lowing:
1. Why not set up a "Master
Information List" telling Bethel
students, faculty, staff, just ex-actly
what services are offered by
each office, department, club,
group, committee, etc.? Whom do
I see if I want to use the facilities
of the gym or 106 or that nebu-lous
entity, the "Student Center?"
Are these things all under the
jurisdiction of the Student Serv-ices
Office? Or must I spend all
day running around campus being
referred from one person to an-other
just to find someone with
the authority to say "yes" or "no"
to my request?
2. How about a "Master Gripe
List," somewhat on the order of
the proverbial "suggestion box?"
The list could be divided into sev-eral
sections and anyone wanting
to voice a complaint to a particu-lar
office or department could put
it under that heading.
For example, if there were such
a heading as "Buildings and
Grounds/Custodial Staff"—I could
put down my name, P.O., and com-plaint
(like, why is there never
enough "t-p" in the Women's
Lounge in the college building?)
under that heading and it would
be brought to the attention of the
custodial staff.
There could also be a "Miscel-laneous"
heading for all those un-definable
situations or problems
that wouldn't fall under a speci-fic
heading.
3. I would also like to see a
"Master Activity List"—a list of
fun, bizarre, exciting, relaxing, in-teresting,
etc., things to do solo/on
a date/or with a group on campus
or in the Twin Cities area (provid-ed
they are in keeping with Beth-el
standards of Christian conduct).
Anyone could contribute sugges-tions
for activities, so that no one
could complain, "There's nothing
to do."
These suggestions are only the
beginning. I have a storehouse of
ideas as big as my storehouse of
complaints. All they have to do
is get together. Student Services
Office or Student Senate — why
doesn't one of you give us a "place
to go" to voice these things?
Janet Appelquist
The "cluster concept," a rather
vague term to most Bethel stu-dents,
is the focus of a very ex-citing
and challenging study by
Bethel faculty and administrators
in the present formative stage of
planning for the new college cam-pus
in Arden Hills.
Dr. Virgil Olson, as Dean of the
College, sits in the "driver's seat"
as the college explores new ideas
in this critical stage of its history,
the relocation in Arden Hills. A
number of knowledgeable men of
various specialties have been as-signed
to him to help put in mo-tion
ideas concerning these areas.
One such man is Warren Bryan
Martin, Research Educator for the
Center for Research and Develop-ment
in Higher Education at the
University of California, Berkeley.
Dr. Martin is the author of a book,
Alternative to Irrelevance, current-ly
being studied by the college fac-ulty.
In it he says that many of
our educational forms are irrele-vant
to the needs of the world.
Lundquist chapel
To the Editor:
Since last Thursday I have been
soliciting students' comments on
President Lundquist's chapel, in
which he spoke on student involve-ment
and student revolution. As a
result, I feel I should write this
letter, to express both my view
and theirs.
A number questioned whether
the President "discriminated be-tween
students and between , is-sues"
in his use of examples. I
could find no documentation for
immorality at Resurrection City,
to which he attested; although I
did find information of the re-pressive
actions of Gov. Reagan at
Berkeley, which he did not men-tion
in his explanation of that sit-uation.
Concerning Grant Park, he not
only generalized in condemning all
demonstrators, but also erroneous-ly
confused the Vietnam issue with
that incident.
Aside from specific examples,
many wondered why the President
chose to speak on the topic. Al-though
he made no allusions to
Bethel, his presentation was most
certainly not an academic convo-cation
on dissent. We ask why.
At times the President was quite
positive, as in his muted call for
student involvement. (The majori-ty
of students questioned agreed
that the majority of students were
apathetic—which is a critique of
more than chapel). However, I fail
to see how his interpretation of
Martin, according to Dean Olson,
"will come as a consultant next
spring, particularly to deal with
the cluster concept and future
planning of the college program."
Several weeks ago, Olson was at
Berkeley and met with Martin's as-sistant,
Jerry G. Goff, .Assistant
Research Psychologist. Goff has
written a number of studies on the
cluster college.
There are at least two broad
categories of cluster colleges. One
type is the small college which is
adjacent and related to a large
university. Bethel fits into the
other classification.
Here a small college takes the
existing cirriculum and tries to
make it functional in three or four
main areas. It is designed so that
the clusters in the college will not
be simply living residences, but will
also incorporate learning experi-ences.
This setting creates a rigorous
academic life. "The .cluster college
forces people to think and work
together," Olson commented. Re-lief
from the demands of such in-teraction
will be provided through
places where an individual's need
for emotional-spiritual securities
can be pursued•in full privacy.
If the cluster concept is followed
through on the new campus, each
residence might feature a major
idea of the cirriculum. In making
the Christian college relevant to
the needs of the world, the cirri-culum
Gould, Olson suggested, cen-ter
about what he saw as four
large issues: the pre-technological
or non-western world, the urban
world, the technological world, and
the world of communication.
Despite the problems encount-ered
in trying to build such a pro-such
can ever lead us from the
status quo.
Finally, students admitted a de-gree
of student unrest. Dr. Harpur
of Wycliffe College says in Christi-anity
Today (Oct. 11) that this un-rest
"has spilled onto evangelical
campuses." He is quite correct.
Now one sees why the campus
pastor introduced President Lund-quist
in the manner he did, men-tioning
his responsibility to the
Conference and school, the import-ance
of his job, and our lack of
understanding of it.
And we accept the introduction,
hoping only that we can fulfill our
responsibility to Christ and the
world with the preparation we are
receiving (some doubt it), that we
can concentrate on important is-sues
this year, and that the at-tempt
to understand is mutual.
Dave Shupe
Student Body
Vice President
gram, Dean Olson noted that the
small college is much more able
to make adjustments and address
itself to needs than a large uni-versity
with its ingrown structures.
"We're struggling to find some
program which is both flexible
enough to adapt to our needs and
personally meaningful from a
Christian perspective," Dr. Olson
said. "Maybe I'm idealistic," he
continued smiling, "but you don't
get there if you don't aim."
Student concern
By Maurice Zaffke
Aside from the chartering of the
Peace Club and the YGOP Club
(Republicans), very little business
was concluded at the Oct. 29 Sen-ate
meeting.
The most intriguing aspect of
the meeting centered around a dis-cussion
of the "Fast for Freedom,"
a nationwide demonstration of con-cern
for the country's urgent prob-lems.
The "Fast" would emphasize
minority groups and the white mid-dle
class students' involvement in
minority group problems especial-ly
as they involve poverty and
race.
The irony of the situation comes
from the juxaposition of such a
noble presentation with the reali-ty
of Bethel Senators sitting there
eating grapes served by the Beth-el
food service. It is not so much
a matter of perspective or posi-tion
as involvement.
One would think that at least
some intellectual heat would have
been generated. What meaning can
a demonstration of concern have
when Bethel students will not even
verbally involve themselves with
the issues?

ATTEMPTS AT A SECOND TOWER OF BABEL? No, just a design class experiment.
Design class struggles Career overseas
with school environment Missionary relates field experience
On Tuesdays, at about 3:30 p.m.,
there seems to be an unusual a-mount
of commotion outside the
Sem building. The observant Beth-elite
finds a group of students
working industriously at a very
large design made up of many
boxes. This object is part of a pro-ject
undertaken by a design class
instructed by Robert Clark Nelson.
The purpose of this class is to
create perception and an aware-ness
of the immediate environment.
Whereas a small and seemingly in-significant
design would have little
effect, or perhaps go unnoticed by
a viewer, it would have a great
deal of effect if blown up into very
large proportions. In this case.
Dr. Philip Watson, Professor of
Systematic Theology at Garrett
Theological Seminary in Evanston,
Illinois, presented a Reformation
Day Address in Chapel today.
Dr. Virgil Olson, campus coordi-nator
for today's convocation, hopes
that the observance of the Refor-mation
Day will emphasize to the
Bethel community the importance
of the Reformation. Watson's hack-ground
and specialties make him
well qualified to perform this task.
A specialist on Luther and Wes-ley,
Watson entitled his morning
presentation "The Pope and the
Shoemaker." After a noon lunch-eon
with faculty members from
Bethel's History and Christianity
Departments, Watson spoke to a
joint meeting of faculty from area
seminaries on "Luther. Erasmus.
and Aquinas."
Watson authored Let God Be
God, an interpretation of Martin
Luther's theology, and The Concept
of Grace. He also compiled a
reader of instruction and devotion
called The Message of the Wes-leys.
He is recognized as the transla-tor
of the Swedish theologian An-many
parts are used to make up
the whole. Thus, the idea of flex-ibility
is important as parts may be
interchanged to create a new de-sign.
The first design was constructed
on Tuesday, October 15. It was an
abstract, angular geometric design.
Each student first made his own
design by arranging six, black tri-angles
uniformly on an 18x18 inch
sheet of white paper. The class
then voted on the one they liked
best, and enlarged it considerably.
In following weeks, different
types of designs will be created on
different sides of the boxes, mak-ing
possible a wide variety of ar-rangements.

Mrs. Lachler and her husband
Carl are conference missionaries
in Brazil currently on furlough.
This article is the first of a
series.
Mrs. Ruth Lindsted, missionary
to the Philippines under the Bap-tist
General Conference since '53,
initiates our series of interviews
during the month of November.
Besides the routine duties of
wife, mother and teacher, she is
on the faculty of a Baptist Theolo-gical
College and consultant to the
national church board in the Is-lands.
Ruth is currently taking ad-ditional
studies at Bethel Semi-nary
while on Home Assignment.
Ruth, what was your college ma-jor?
If you could re-live your col-lege
days would you choose the
same?
My major was Bible, the minor
Religious Education. I wish I had
majored in Sociology and minored
in Rel. Ed., then pursued one or
two years in the Seminary dividing
my time and effort between Bible
and Christian Ed.
Does your college degree help
you in any way in your work?
My college degree gives me the
needed prestige for teaching in the
B.T.C. Filipinos are very education
and degree conscious. As for my
Bible major, a degree in it isn't
necessary for the missionary wife,
but she should be acquainted with
doctrine, content, application to
life, etc., more than just from
devotional study.
Is it necessary to integrate your-self
into the Filipino society?
Absolutely! Winning a person to
Christ involves winning him to
yourself first of all. One must un-derstand
the other country's point
of view and value system. It means
abdicating any feeling of personal
or cultural superiority.
Is there any work in your area
being done to contact college stu-dents
or graduate for Christ?
Because of our personal acquain-tance
with college students,- and
because of the B.T.C. reciprocal
arrangements with the local col-lege,
we've had some influence
with these 1,000 or so students.
There are no Bible study classes
for professionals, only personal
sharing of what God means. There
is a very great need for student
and graduate evangelism in Bogo.
What do you think about a stu-dent
taking an "independent stu-dy"
in a college in your country
during his junior year?
The student would have to de-cide,
first of all, his purpose for
coming to the Philippine Islands.
He could get valuable academic
studies in at least three universi-ties,
but perhaps would have a
hard time transferring credits.
However, the opportunities are
without limits, if he wanted to ma-jor
in sharing Christ.
Do you have any suggestions for
college students who are interested
in a career overseas with Foreign
Missions?
Interested Bethel students could
befriend foreign students from the
University of Minnesota now. These
outstanding students are slated to
be their nation's leaders and are
VIPs. They often are looking for
real friends. As I already men-tioned,
winning a person to Jesus
Christ involves winning them to
yourself first of all. Start your
career overseas in St. Paul!

A student is giving his first
speech in a college speech class.
As far as first speeches are con-cerned,
it is a fairly good presen-tation.
But the student's voice fal-ters
and his tone is not well-modu-lated.
His gestures are inappropri-ate
and his posture is inadequate.
Rather than stopping him for
each correction or relying upon
memory, his instructor video-tapes
the speech and replays it to the
mutual benefit of the speaker, his
classmates, and the instructor.
A student teacher enters an emp-ty
classroom. She quickly and easi-ly
assembles a portable video-tape
apparatus. Her class arrives and
the machine records a portion of
the class session. The student
teacher returns to her college
where both she and her instructor
analyze the recording.
Forecasts for the future? Hardly.
Rather, the above illustrations rep-resent
a revolution in education:
a revolution in which Bethel Col-lege
plays an active role.
This revolution—the college use
of modern video-tape equipment—
began ten to fifteen years ago
when educators first came to real-ize
the educational potentials of
the video-tape recorder. They real-ized,
for example, that with the
video-tape machine a science dem-onstration
could be performed and
taped for future replay.
A large number of students
could then observe closeups of the
Friday, November 1, 1968
experiment. The teacher would
only have to perform the experi-ment
once thus saving time and
accentuating effectiveness.
The revolution gained momen-tum
as price decreased and govern-ment
assistance enabled college
possession of such equipment to
become more of a practical reality.
The video-tape system arrived on
the Bethel scene last semester. Fi-nanced
by monies from the Classes
of 1964 and 1966 and the Depart-ments
of Speech and Education, its
obtainment was the result of a
drive spearheaded by faculty mem-bers
Dale Rott and Janet Runbeck.
The equipment consists of a
television camera, an audio-visual
recording mechanism, and a tele-vision
monitor. In addition, there
is a device called a porta-pack
which because of its easy mobility
it is compact and weighs only
10 1/2 pounds) may be used for such
purposes as student teaching. In
the words of Rott, the possession
of such equipment puts Bethel Col-lege
on a par with any private
liberal arts college in Minnesota."
To date, the equipment has seen
rather limited application but its
usage will expand as the school
year progresses. Currently, it is
being used primarily in the Speech
and Education Departments.
In the Speech Department, it is
employed in beginning and ad-vanced
speech classes, as well as
in forensics and drama. During the
spring semester, it is employed in
the Radio and Television course
(in which students actually pro-duce
their own television pro-grams).
It is also used as a pedagogical
device in the Education Depart-ment.
Its most important applica-tion
here is directed toward stu-dent
teaching.
As the year progresses, the vi-deo-
tape equipment will be used
for athletics (Coach Trager, for ex-ample,
will use it for his basket-ball
team) and for public rela-tions
(tapes can easily be made of
aspects of Bethel life).
The video-tape system has many
implications for the future. Rott is
hopeful that a television produc-tion
center will he established at
the new college campus. There,
among other utilizations, profes-sors
from both the college and
the seminary, can combine talents
to make religious television pro-grams
to be shown on regular tel-evision
stations.
Rott also foresees television mon-itors
in classrooms where "piped"
lectures and demonstrations would
supplement 'live' discussions and
teacher assistance.
Rott envisions a future in which
students will do much of their
learning by video-tapes and he
looks forward to a new dimension
in which, "Instead of students
reading the prayers of Peter Mar-shall,
Peter Marshall will be 'read-ing'
the prayers to the students."

means of an overhead projector while being taped and

Changing moods mark road trip
by Tom Stocking
The preparation for an away
game begins long before kickoff
time Saturday. For last week's
game against Northwestern, the
players had to pack their equip-ment
and load it on the bus by
12 noon Friday. After a word of
prayer by Doc Dalton, the team
waved farewell to a few loyal fol-lowers,
and began the day's jour-ney
only 15 minutes late.
Most of the players had good
intentions to study, but one by
one they succumbed to sleep. At
Mankato, however a rook game was
organized in the back of the bus,
and soon most of the sleepers
awoke to the sounds of "I pass,"
"what's trump?" and an occasional
scream.
Aroused by one especially bestial
shriek, Vaughn Ekbom decided
that it was no longer possible to
sleep, and began to study for his
Patterns of Christian Thought test.
Running into one particularly dif-ficult
question, Vaughn enlisted
the aid of assistant coach Jerry
Oas, an ordained minister.
When someone commented about
the dilapidated condition of Oas's
Bible, he proceeded to quote a
newspaper clipping which said, "A
person with a Bible that is falling
apart, is not falling apart himself."
Extempore Coffee House Pro-gram
Director, David Horstmann,
has announced that a six week se-minar
on the "Christian-Commu-nist
Dialogue" is scheduled to be-gin
Sunday, November 3, at the
Extempore.
Dale Berry, a shrewd and witty ob-server
of mankind, very wisely
pointed out that there were, of
course, exceptions to every rule.
The rook game and the Bible
study were the only centers of ac-tivity
on the bus. Some persisted
in their various readings, others
continued to sleep, and a few
watched the brown fields as the
bus sped on through southwestern
Minnesota.
At 5:05 P.M. the team arrived at
the Sunset Motel of Sioux Falls,
South Dakota. After eating at the
Truck Haven cafe, the players re-turned
to the motel for the night.
The Sunset has a television in
every room, and according to an
unofficial survey the movie Shock
Treatment was the overwhelming
favorite with Olympic basketball a
distant second.
The night was chilly, and the
scream of air force jets taking off
at a nearby field made sleeping dif-ficult,
especially if one was shar-ing
a double bed with another
player. The next morning dawned
bright and beautiful, and after a
steak and eggs breakfast at the
Truck Haven, the team made its
way to Orange City, Iowa, to play
the Red Raiders of Northwestern
College. ,
Currier has one book published,
"No Easter for East Germany", and
has just finished a book on the
Christian-Communist dialogue.
The Seminar at the Extempore is
open to anyone who is interested,
and will meet for six Sundays be-ginning
November 3, 9:00 p. m.
There is a fifty cent admission.
Weekend entertainment includes
Dave Hartley, folksinger, on Fri-day,
Arnold Lackram, calypso, on
Saturday, and a W. C. Fields movie
Sunday at 8:30 and 11 p.m.
The Extempore Coffee House is
located at 623 Cedar Ave., Minnea-polis.
Even in Orange City there were
fans to cheer on the Royals. Richie
Sackett led one contingent from
St. Paul, and Dave "Andy" Ander-son,
a Bethel alumnus, brought up
some rooters from Nebraska.
The fine recovery of the Bethel
squad in the second half made all
the fans glad they had come. De-spite
the seriousness of the game.
manager Larry Swanson amused
everyone by appearing in the sec-ond
half with the halves of his
broken eyeglasses taped to his face.
Although the Royals did play
valiantly in the second half, the
final outcome left them the loser.
In the locker room the sentiments
of pride were mixed with those of
bitter disappointment as the play-ers
gathered their gear.
The cramped ride back is always
difficult after a hard game, and is
especially painful after a defeat.
Nevertheless, after dining at Eh-ler's
Supper Club in Worthington,
the players' spirit rose. Singing
filled the bus for the final three
hours, and gradually good feeling
was restored.
At 11 p.m. Saturday night the
Greyhound pulled up before the
fieldhouse, and another road trip
was completed.
Halloween party
In honor of Halloween and the
return of the Great Pumpkin there
is a Halloween Party Friday, Nov.
1, at 8 p.m. in the Fieldhouse.
Everyone attending must wear
a costume in order to qualify for

the cost will be 50c. All students,
faculty, and their spouses are in-vited.
The party is carnival style and
includes such "fun games" as a
pumpkin carving contest, bobbing
for apples in a bathtub, and a pie
eating race. Faculty members are
in charge of those notorious booths
where prizes of great value can be
won.

Seddeete
Symposium
by Wally Borner
Within the next few years, soccer will be Bethel's major
sport. This is not to say that football, basketball, and baseball
teams will fold, but that in terms of intercollegiate competi-tion,
Bethel will be on par with any college in the area.
This year's soccer team has a 0-4-1 record, which is simi-lar
to that of the football team. However, with a comparison of
records, a few other factors must be taken into consideration.
First, the soccer team does not have a coach. Second, they
practice about three days a week for about an hour, and third,
not all the players are able to be at each practice.
The plus factors for this year's team are as follows:
1. They have played a schedule of five games without the
aid of coaching and well organized practices. In essence, the
team has overcome these drawbacks.
2. They have operated without a budget. The team has
balls and shinguards which were purchased a couple years ago
and that was all the equipment needed. The only expense was
for a broken window.
3. Each player, because he has volunteered for a club,
plays for the enjoyment of a great sport, and because of this,
puts out 100 percent.
Now, looking to the future, we can see three things which
will make soccer a major sport.
1. The expenses, which are one of the biggest obstructions
in the department, are minimal.
2. The club is not far behind any of the other colleges in
the area because it is a new sport, and Bethel can recruit right
along with them.
3. It doesn't take 40 or 50 men to build a good team. In
fact, operating with 12 dependable and able players, a winning
season is easily attainable.
Concordia of St. Paul and Pillsbury already have good soccer
teams which rank above their football teams. I am not advo-cating
a post-mortem on the football team, because I don't feel
that it is dead, and I expect an upward trend in the next few
years.
I am only saying that with the support of the administra-tion,
Bethel can be known as a soccer power in the midwest.
That may not sound real impressive now, but soccer is grow-ing
and it is becoming a saving factor in many other small
college athletic programs.
Falcon pulled out another
squeaker last week as they tipped
the revamped Second Old team in
overtime 8-7. Falcon scored on a
thirty yard pass from Dale Saxon
to Dan Larson and the extra point
was from Sax to Wayne Carpenter.
Second Old tied the game with
the hopes of a big upset when
Jim Duddleston connected with
Dale Finch for both the TD and
extra point to send the game into
overtime.
Second Old penetrated about 20
yards to start the overtime and
Falcon went to a fourth and 10
situation. This was the last play
of the game and Saxon threw the
ball to Steve Hanson who jumped
and grabbed the ball one foot past
the flag to pull out the narrow
victory.
Off Campus cruised past First
Floor 20-0. The winners had only
seven men but held the opponents
to no first downs, only two pass
completions, and a substantial mi-nus
net yardage.
In the first half, Jim Delich
tossed to Dave Schmidt for 30
yards and Dave raced the final
30 to put the initial 'score on the
board. The extra point was scored
by the same duo.
Later in the half, with Off Cam-pus
on the First Floor 20, Delich
pitched out to halfback Wally Bor-ner
who threw to Ralph Sheppard
in the end zone. The half then end-ed
13-0.
The only score in the second
half came when Delich threw a
30 yard pass which Borner caught
over the shoulder on the dead run
just as he reached the goal line.
In other action, Pit upset Third
Old as Ron Carlson hit Dave An-derson
on passes of 20 and 30
yards. Lou Duhon connected with
Gary Clark for the Third Old score
as they went down 13-7.
Faculty defeated New Dorm by
a score of 6-2. Coach Trager passed
to Dale Stephens for the Faculty
touchdown and then slowfoot Tra-ger
was caught by a New Dorm
defenseman for the first New Dorm
score of the year.
Second New defeated Third New
by the same score. Garry Hassel-blad
threw to Rick Berggren. Then
Berggren was caught in the end
zone by Tim Eddy for a safety on
a kickoff.
Falcon is leading all teams in
offense and defense. They have
scored an average of 17.75 points
a game and have given up 3.25
points. Off Campus is second in
offense and Second New has the
runner up spot in defense.

The Bethel Harriers ran into
the cellar in their last meet of
the year as they lost to St. Olaf
and Bemidji. The score was St.
Olaf 24, Bemidji 50, and Bethel
54.
The race was run on a warm,
sunny morning at Como on a four
mile course. Bemidji's Tom Holmes
took first place with a time of
21:48, followed by two St. Olaf
men and Bethel's Bill Geigert in
fourth place with a time of 22:41.
Rich Swanson took seventh and
Dick Olson placed ninth, but none
of the other Bethel runners could
place low enough for Bethel to
take second in the meet. Bethel
runners comprised five of the last
seven places.
Dwight Carlson, a transfer stu-dent
from Wheaton College, is in-eligible
for the first semester, but
has been running with the team.
Saturday he ran the course in 22:;
54 which would have put him in
sixth place had he been eligible.
Saturday, Bethel will be running
in the NAIA district meet at Como
Park at 11 a.m.
Northwestern handed the Royals
there seventh loss of the season
last Saturday 43 to 27. Though
equaling their total offensive out-put
for the year, Bethel still fell
short of victory.
Trailing 43 to 0 at one point,
the Royals put on a great show of
spirit in putting 27 points on the
board. Sitte and Selander again
shared the quarterback position
combining for 14 completions in
33 attempts.
Though gaining 165 yards
through the air, the Royals rush-ing
game fell apart with a mere
8 yards. Northwestern gained 204
yards rushing and 115 yards pass-ing
for 319 yards total offense.
Aiding Bethel in their touch-downs
were two lost fumbles and
110 yards of penalties by North-western.
Bethel had 10 first downs
to the opponents 16.
Before the Royals could get
charged up, they found themselves
down 14 to 0. A 24-yard pass
play and a run back of a fumble
recovery gave Northwestern a lead
with less than four minutes gone.

Second half of play looked no
better as Northwestern scored on
a 69-yard screen play. Here came
a complete turn-over in the game.
With 5:54 remaining in the third
stanza, Murray Sitte scored.
Three minutes later an intercep-tion
by Tom Swanson led to an-other
TD for Bethel. Sitte again
scored; this time going 34 yards.
Northwestern immediately fumbled
with Tim Weko falling on the ball.
Three downs later Sitte had
scored his third touchdown of the
day. A successful kick by Harfst
brought the score to 43-20.

Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. Friday, November 1, 1968
Frosh executives—Betsy Skotte, Gerry Fair,. Bill Carlson, and Darleen Salkawske
—contemplate plans for remainder of year.
Carlson heads freshmen officers;
upperclassmen help fill two vacancies
John Ylvisaker will be on campus Saturday evening
with his wife Amanda for an 8 p.m. concert in the field-house.
A Ylvisaker concert last spring stirred much dis- .
cussion on campus.
Sen. Mondale criticizes
neglect of human needs
Friday, Oct. 25, Freshmen held
what was to be the final election
for class officers and senators. A
presidential run-off was necessary
when no candidate received at
least 40 percent of the valid votes
cast.
On Friday, with 49.9 percent of
the Frosh voting, write-in presi-dential
Candidate William F. (Bill)
Carlson drew 53 (36.6 percent) of
the 151 valid votes cast in a rather
close contest. This put him four
votes over Bill Ankerberg, but 3.4
percent below the 40 percent re-quired
for a win. Mark Steward
placed third with six votes less
than Ankerberg's 49.
Monday's presidential run-off be-tween
Carlson and Ankerberg. put
Carlson into office with 116 votes
from a total of 172 Freshmen vo-ters.
Gerry Fair claimed the V.P. po-sition
with 87 votes, the highest
number any candidate got on Fri-day.
Marty Mauk drew 56 votes for
that spot.
Betsy Skotte drew the second
highest count with 83 votes over
Norma Wilcox's 61 and became
class Secretary.
The race for Treasurer caused
a good deal of anticipation when
someone posted an election result
with Becki Hopf mistakenly de-feating
Darleen Salkawske for this
office. The uncertainty ended with
Darleen Treasurer by the slim mar-gin
of four votes over Becki.
A fairly even spread of votes for
Freshman Senate candidates elect-ed
Tom Ford, Wendell Wahlin, Sue
Frost, Diane Lundberg and Dave
Barnhart.
The total number of Freshman
void due to extraneous marks , on
voters on Friday was 180. Of these
ballots twenty-nine (yes, 29) were
the ballot or boxes indicated by
marks other than an X. This left
only 151 valid votes, a difference
that could very conceivably have
made a great deal of difference in
the election's results.
Leonard Sammons, Chairman of
the Election Board, suggested that
this high percentage of void bal-lots
(over 16 percent void) may
provide incentive enough for modi-fying
the Election Code to con-sider
valid a ballot with checks
as well as X's to designate a choice.
However, extraneous markings are
unnecessary in any case and will
continue to nullify the entire bal-lot.
SENATOR-AT-LARGE
Upper classmen and Freshmen
joined Monday in electing two Sen-ators-
at-large. Dennis Olson and
John and Amanda Ylvisaker, af-ter
a previous Bethel concert last
spring, return to campus Saturday
night for an 8 p.m. concert in the
field house, sponsored by the Sen-ior
Class.
John Ylvisaker, a Lutheran lay-man,
plays the electric guitar and
sings. His wife Amanda plays the
rock organ and the flute. They
have with them a drummer and
another singer.
Their music is their own; some
of it is popular tunes with new
lyrics. All of it is religious. While
the New Folk, on campus last
week, apologized for their music
and promised not to bring it into
churches, Ylvisaker apologizes for
church music and wants very much
to get his music inside the walls
Tom Mesaros were chosen with 193
and 137 votes respectively. The
other two candidates, Chuck Mybro
and Doug Warring, received 114
and 52 votes respectively.
Sammons said neither Mesaros
nor Olson has ever served as a
Senator. Myrbo, defeated this time,
was elected Senator last year when
an election was held in October to
fill a vacancy. Mesaros filled a
vacancy in the second semester of
his freshman year as vice-presi-dent
of the class.
Freshmen dominated the voting
on Monday by turning in 172 bal-lots
as compared to a total of 144
for the other three classes. 47.4
percent of the Freshmen voted on
Monday and the four classes to-,
gether mustered 32.8 percent of
the student body.
of churches.
Ylvisaker's point is that twenti-eth
century popular culture cannot
relate to eighteenth century church
music. The traditional barrier be-tween
sacred and secular music
makes all of religion somehow
seem not relevant. Ylvisaker is at-tempting
to break down the bar-rier,
and his efforts towards this
end have impressed many listen-ers.
Last spring's Ylvisaker concert
turned out to be more controver-sial
than even the hard rock group
which came to Bethel at Nik Dag
and was an even bigger surprise
than some of the couples. The
Music Projection created a stir be-cause
no one expected to hear the
big beat bouncing off the chapel-ized
walls of the fieldhouse.
Much of the Ylvisakers' music
was the same big beat, but that
was the only aspect of their mu-sic
that would have been at all
out of place in chapel.
Tickets for Saturday's concert
are $1.50. Doors will open at 7:30
and the concert will start at 8 p.m.
"This wealthy nation must do
some profound thinking as to what
is important," Walter Monday, U.S.
Senator from Minnesota, told a
Bethel convocation audience Tues-day.
Mondale, in delivering a concise
thirty-minute address, probably es-tablished
a new mark in brevity
for convocation speakers. With na-tional
elections only a week away,
his presentation displayed a min-imum
of arm waving and a refresh-ing
lack of political gusto.
Talking about the "strange na-tion"
that is America, a "nation
of contrasts," Mondale discussed
some of the internal contradictions
that plague American society. He
accused many Americans, includ-ing
the "law and order" people,
of cultivating a naive outlook. Be-cause
they fail to see the complex-ity
of current social problems, they
advocate simple and unrealistic sol-utions.
"We have yet to face up seri-ously
to the problems of human
denial," Mondale said, referring
not to poverty as simply the ab-sence
of money, but that "total
situation" which can so completely
stifle a child's development in ev-ery
way.
Noting that military expendi-tures
totaled four times more than
expenditures for human programs
combined, Mondale saw' the "fan-tastic"
arms race as a critical is-sue.
"It strips most of the re-sources
which could be used for
human problems," he said.
Mondale pointed out the futility
and danger in pressing for the
U.S., to move ahead in the arms
race. The impoverishment of re-sources
already resulting from mil-itary
expenditures says some tell-ing
things about American prior-ities.
"What do we mean by commit-ment
to human development?"
Monday asked. He noted that there
was a cleavage in methods when
Senator Mondale speaks
to convocation audience.
it came to commitment in differ-ent
areas.
Space scientists or highway en-gineers
are not just given a sum
and told to work within those
that "It's just too bad." They won't
bounds, and if they can't make it,
even undertake anything when ad-equate
resources won't be avail-able,
Monday remarked.
However this is precisely the
approach we take toward human
programs, he said. We refuse to
"work backwards," alotting enough
funds to cover the needs of a
program. Rather, Mondale contin-ued,
we give such programs a cer-tain
amount of funds to work with,
and if it's not enough, "It is just
too bad."
Mondale called for an end to
such an imbalance of priorities.
"We cannot continue to underem-phasize
the need for human op-portunity,"
he said.
Mondale limited his partisan re-marks
to a few infrequent and
muted comments. In the question
and answer session following his
address, he did point to the vice
presidential candidates and sug-gest,
smiling, that -a comparison of
"Muskie with the other two" was
somewhat "devastating."
CLARION sponsors straw vote
The Clarion will sponsor a mock presidential election on campus
next Monday, the day before national elections. Results of the straw
vote will be tabulated and published in next week's paper.
All students and faculty members may participate in the straw vote.
It will be handled through the ticket window in the coffee shop.
Ylvisakers give Saturday concert
One of the important decisions made at the
last meeting of the Board of Education was that
the "cluster college" concept was approved in
general principle. This style of educational life
on the new campus will affect architecture, cirri-culum,
student living.
The basic idea is that learning is much more
than the involvement in fifteen hours of classroom
experience. Undoubtedly much more learning
takes place the other ninety-five hours of the
week.
Consequently the principle of living-learning
has been designed so that both structured and
unstructured learning experiences can be more
meaningful.
The new college campus design will 'include
clusters of dormitories that surround an academic
center housing classrooms, laboratories, library,
arts and music centers, offices, etc.
However, each so called dormitory will be
built with multiple functions in view. They will
be equipped with social recreational places, but
also educational equipment, such as seminar
rooms, listening stations hooked up to a memory
retrival system that can play back lectures, im-portant
non-classroom information, language les-sons,
music selections.
It is designed so that learning can take place
where living is experienced in its highest degree
of constancy.
—from Dr. Virgil Olson's inaugural
address as Dean of the College,
October 3.
Arden Hills campus planning activity
Muskie for Vice President focuses on 'living learning' principle Milt Williams, speaking in the "Negro in American Life"
course, was questioned about his preference in the upcoming
presidential election. His reply was interesting and perceptive.
The difference between Wallace, Nixon, and Humphrey,
Williams said, can be summarized rather simply. Wallace says
that if you lie down in front of his car, he'll run you over.
Nixon says that if you lie down in front of his car, he'll let his
chauffer run over you. And Humphrey says he'll cry for you
while Wallace and Nixon run over you.
That is perhaps one of the most incisive comments yet
made concerning the current presidential candidates. "None of
the three candidates," Williams added, "are relevant to the
present situation in America."
Two days after Williams was on campus, Walter Judd spoke
to a Homecoming audience in the fieldhouse. Speaking about
the Christian's involvement in the political arena, Judd made
it crystal clear that such involvement necessitated difficult de-cisions,
decisions which were by no means matters of black or
white.
The legislator is faced with a good bill with a bad rider
tacked on; which way should he vote? The citizen is faced with
a slate of candidates which he feels is unsatisfactory; how should
he vote? Judd counseled his listeners to ask themselves "what
is the worst thing that could happen? . .. vote for the other."
Starting with Wallace, we say vote for "the other." The
New York Times has said that "He is the political expression
of the school burners and the church bombers and the night
riders." His "law and order" slogan carries an even hollower
ring when one considers the state of Alabama with its high
crime rate, low standard of living, low ranking among the 50
states in education, and so on down the line. America does not
need Wallace's expertise on a national scale.
Turning to Nixon, we could discuss some rather discon-certing
remarks he has made about Viet Nam, the cities, the
supreme court, and so on. However, when we think of Spiro
Agnew being "only a heartbeat away," Judd's adage of "vote
for the other" looms large indeed without even giving Nixon
a second thought.
Agnew, who has worked hard to confirm doubts many had
concerning his qu-alifications for national office at the time of
his nomination, certainly does not inspire confidence as a man
capable of stepping into the presidency. James Doyle in the
Boston Globe characterizes him as a man "bereft of foreign
policy knowledge, who in a few weeks has managed to evade
large issues, mis-step small ones, and vex his opponents with
questionable rhetoric . . . given that his heart is in the right
place, his mind seems not to be." Such a running mate would
be a serious liability to a better candidate than Nixon—together
this duo leaves too much to be desired.
And so the Clarion unenthusiastically backs into an en-dorsement
of Hubert Humphrey. Despite the Chicago blemishes
and everything else, Humphrey's past record seems to offer
more hope than the old, new, and real Nixon combined. And
a look at Agnew convinces us to say, "vote for the other."

Suggests solutions
To the Editor:
In reference to my letter of last
week (complaining of unsigned di-rectives),
I would like to make
two things clear.
One—my apologies to any ad-ministrator
who may have con-strued
my article as speaking sole-ly
to him or her. Personal indict-ments
are not my idea of construc-tive
criticism.
Two—In my letter I hinted at
the larger problems—of informa-tion
or to clear up misunderstand-ings.
Lest I be accused of com-plaining
without offering solutions
I would like to suggest the fol-lowing:
1. Why not set up a "Master
Information List" telling Bethel
students, faculty, staff, just ex-actly
what services are offered by
each office, department, club,
group, committee, etc.? Whom do
I see if I want to use the facilities
of the gym or 106 or that nebu-lous
entity, the "Student Center?"
Are these things all under the
jurisdiction of the Student Serv-ices
Office? Or must I spend all
day running around campus being
referred from one person to an-other
just to find someone with
the authority to say "yes" or "no"
to my request?
2. How about a "Master Gripe
List," somewhat on the order of
the proverbial "suggestion box?"
The list could be divided into sev-eral
sections and anyone wanting
to voice a complaint to a particu-lar
office or department could put
it under that heading.
For example, if there were such
a heading as "Buildings and
Grounds/Custodial Staff"—I could
put down my name, P.O., and com-plaint
(like, why is there never
enough "t-p" in the Women's
Lounge in the college building?)
under that heading and it would
be brought to the attention of the
custodial staff.
There could also be a "Miscel-laneous"
heading for all those un-definable
situations or problems
that wouldn't fall under a speci-fic
heading.
3. I would also like to see a
"Master Activity List"—a list of
fun, bizarre, exciting, relaxing, in-teresting,
etc., things to do solo/on
a date/or with a group on campus
or in the Twin Cities area (provid-ed
they are in keeping with Beth-el
standards of Christian conduct).
Anyone could contribute sugges-tions
for activities, so that no one
could complain, "There's nothing
to do."
These suggestions are only the
beginning. I have a storehouse of
ideas as big as my storehouse of
complaints. All they have to do
is get together. Student Services
Office or Student Senate — why
doesn't one of you give us a "place
to go" to voice these things?
Janet Appelquist
The "cluster concept," a rather
vague term to most Bethel stu-dents,
is the focus of a very ex-citing
and challenging study by
Bethel faculty and administrators
in the present formative stage of
planning for the new college cam-pus
in Arden Hills.
Dr. Virgil Olson, as Dean of the
College, sits in the "driver's seat"
as the college explores new ideas
in this critical stage of its history,
the relocation in Arden Hills. A
number of knowledgeable men of
various specialties have been as-signed
to him to help put in mo-tion
ideas concerning these areas.
One such man is Warren Bryan
Martin, Research Educator for the
Center for Research and Develop-ment
in Higher Education at the
University of California, Berkeley.
Dr. Martin is the author of a book,
Alternative to Irrelevance, current-ly
being studied by the college fac-ulty.
In it he says that many of
our educational forms are irrele-vant
to the needs of the world.
Lundquist chapel
To the Editor:
Since last Thursday I have been
soliciting students' comments on
President Lundquist's chapel, in
which he spoke on student involve-ment
and student revolution. As a
result, I feel I should write this
letter, to express both my view
and theirs.
A number questioned whether
the President "discriminated be-tween
students and between , is-sues"
in his use of examples. I
could find no documentation for
immorality at Resurrection City,
to which he attested; although I
did find information of the re-pressive
actions of Gov. Reagan at
Berkeley, which he did not men-tion
in his explanation of that sit-uation.
Concerning Grant Park, he not
only generalized in condemning all
demonstrators, but also erroneous-ly
confused the Vietnam issue with
that incident.
Aside from specific examples,
many wondered why the President
chose to speak on the topic. Al-though
he made no allusions to
Bethel, his presentation was most
certainly not an academic convo-cation
on dissent. We ask why.
At times the President was quite
positive, as in his muted call for
student involvement. (The majori-ty
of students questioned agreed
that the majority of students were
apathetic—which is a critique of
more than chapel). However, I fail
to see how his interpretation of
Martin, according to Dean Olson,
"will come as a consultant next
spring, particularly to deal with
the cluster concept and future
planning of the college program."
Several weeks ago, Olson was at
Berkeley and met with Martin's as-sistant,
Jerry G. Goff, .Assistant
Research Psychologist. Goff has
written a number of studies on the
cluster college.
There are at least two broad
categories of cluster colleges. One
type is the small college which is
adjacent and related to a large
university. Bethel fits into the
other classification.
Here a small college takes the
existing cirriculum and tries to
make it functional in three or four
main areas. It is designed so that
the clusters in the college will not
be simply living residences, but will
also incorporate learning experi-ences.
This setting creates a rigorous
academic life. "The .cluster college
forces people to think and work
together," Olson commented. Re-lief
from the demands of such in-teraction
will be provided through
places where an individual's need
for emotional-spiritual securities
can be pursued•in full privacy.
If the cluster concept is followed
through on the new campus, each
residence might feature a major
idea of the cirriculum. In making
the Christian college relevant to
the needs of the world, the cirri-culum
Gould, Olson suggested, cen-ter
about what he saw as four
large issues: the pre-technological
or non-western world, the urban
world, the technological world, and
the world of communication.
Despite the problems encount-ered
in trying to build such a pro-such
can ever lead us from the
status quo.
Finally, students admitted a de-gree
of student unrest. Dr. Harpur
of Wycliffe College says in Christi-anity
Today (Oct. 11) that this un-rest
"has spilled onto evangelical
campuses." He is quite correct.
Now one sees why the campus
pastor introduced President Lund-quist
in the manner he did, men-tioning
his responsibility to the
Conference and school, the import-ance
of his job, and our lack of
understanding of it.
And we accept the introduction,
hoping only that we can fulfill our
responsibility to Christ and the
world with the preparation we are
receiving (some doubt it), that we
can concentrate on important is-sues
this year, and that the at-tempt
to understand is mutual.
Dave Shupe
Student Body
Vice President
gram, Dean Olson noted that the
small college is much more able
to make adjustments and address
itself to needs than a large uni-versity
with its ingrown structures.
"We're struggling to find some
program which is both flexible
enough to adapt to our needs and
personally meaningful from a
Christian perspective," Dr. Olson
said. "Maybe I'm idealistic," he
continued smiling, "but you don't
get there if you don't aim."
Student concern
By Maurice Zaffke
Aside from the chartering of the
Peace Club and the YGOP Club
(Republicans), very little business
was concluded at the Oct. 29 Sen-ate
meeting.
The most intriguing aspect of
the meeting centered around a dis-cussion
of the "Fast for Freedom,"
a nationwide demonstration of con-cern
for the country's urgent prob-lems.
The "Fast" would emphasize
minority groups and the white mid-dle
class students' involvement in
minority group problems especial-ly
as they involve poverty and
race.
The irony of the situation comes
from the juxaposition of such a
noble presentation with the reali-ty
of Bethel Senators sitting there
eating grapes served by the Beth-el
food service. It is not so much
a matter of perspective or posi-tion
as involvement.
One would think that at least
some intellectual heat would have
been generated. What meaning can
a demonstration of concern have
when Bethel students will not even
verbally involve themselves with
the issues?

ATTEMPTS AT A SECOND TOWER OF BABEL? No, just a design class experiment.
Design class struggles Career overseas
with school environment Missionary relates field experience
On Tuesdays, at about 3:30 p.m.,
there seems to be an unusual a-mount
of commotion outside the
Sem building. The observant Beth-elite
finds a group of students
working industriously at a very
large design made up of many
boxes. This object is part of a pro-ject
undertaken by a design class
instructed by Robert Clark Nelson.
The purpose of this class is to
create perception and an aware-ness
of the immediate environment.
Whereas a small and seemingly in-significant
design would have little
effect, or perhaps go unnoticed by
a viewer, it would have a great
deal of effect if blown up into very
large proportions. In this case.
Dr. Philip Watson, Professor of
Systematic Theology at Garrett
Theological Seminary in Evanston,
Illinois, presented a Reformation
Day Address in Chapel today.
Dr. Virgil Olson, campus coordi-nator
for today's convocation, hopes
that the observance of the Refor-mation
Day will emphasize to the
Bethel community the importance
of the Reformation. Watson's hack-ground
and specialties make him
well qualified to perform this task.
A specialist on Luther and Wes-ley,
Watson entitled his morning
presentation "The Pope and the
Shoemaker." After a noon lunch-eon
with faculty members from
Bethel's History and Christianity
Departments, Watson spoke to a
joint meeting of faculty from area
seminaries on "Luther. Erasmus.
and Aquinas."
Watson authored Let God Be
God, an interpretation of Martin
Luther's theology, and The Concept
of Grace. He also compiled a
reader of instruction and devotion
called The Message of the Wes-leys.
He is recognized as the transla-tor
of the Swedish theologian An-many
parts are used to make up
the whole. Thus, the idea of flex-ibility
is important as parts may be
interchanged to create a new de-sign.
The first design was constructed
on Tuesday, October 15. It was an
abstract, angular geometric design.
Each student first made his own
design by arranging six, black tri-angles
uniformly on an 18x18 inch
sheet of white paper. The class
then voted on the one they liked
best, and enlarged it considerably.
In following weeks, different
types of designs will be created on
different sides of the boxes, mak-ing
possible a wide variety of ar-rangements.

Mrs. Lachler and her husband
Carl are conference missionaries
in Brazil currently on furlough.
This article is the first of a
series.
Mrs. Ruth Lindsted, missionary
to the Philippines under the Bap-tist
General Conference since '53,
initiates our series of interviews
during the month of November.
Besides the routine duties of
wife, mother and teacher, she is
on the faculty of a Baptist Theolo-gical
College and consultant to the
national church board in the Is-lands.
Ruth is currently taking ad-ditional
studies at Bethel Semi-nary
while on Home Assignment.
Ruth, what was your college ma-jor?
If you could re-live your col-lege
days would you choose the
same?
My major was Bible, the minor
Religious Education. I wish I had
majored in Sociology and minored
in Rel. Ed., then pursued one or
two years in the Seminary dividing
my time and effort between Bible
and Christian Ed.
Does your college degree help
you in any way in your work?
My college degree gives me the
needed prestige for teaching in the
B.T.C. Filipinos are very education
and degree conscious. As for my
Bible major, a degree in it isn't
necessary for the missionary wife,
but she should be acquainted with
doctrine, content, application to
life, etc., more than just from
devotional study.
Is it necessary to integrate your-self
into the Filipino society?
Absolutely! Winning a person to
Christ involves winning him to
yourself first of all. One must un-derstand
the other country's point
of view and value system. It means
abdicating any feeling of personal
or cultural superiority.
Is there any work in your area
being done to contact college stu-dents
or graduate for Christ?
Because of our personal acquain-tance
with college students,- and
because of the B.T.C. reciprocal
arrangements with the local col-lege,
we've had some influence
with these 1,000 or so students.
There are no Bible study classes
for professionals, only personal
sharing of what God means. There
is a very great need for student
and graduate evangelism in Bogo.
What do you think about a stu-dent
taking an "independent stu-dy"
in a college in your country
during his junior year?
The student would have to de-cide,
first of all, his purpose for
coming to the Philippine Islands.
He could get valuable academic
studies in at least three universi-ties,
but perhaps would have a
hard time transferring credits.
However, the opportunities are
without limits, if he wanted to ma-jor
in sharing Christ.
Do you have any suggestions for
college students who are interested
in a career overseas with Foreign
Missions?
Interested Bethel students could
befriend foreign students from the
University of Minnesota now. These
outstanding students are slated to
be their nation's leaders and are
VIPs. They often are looking for
real friends. As I already men-tioned,
winning a person to Jesus
Christ involves winning them to
yourself first of all. Start your
career overseas in St. Paul!

A student is giving his first
speech in a college speech class.
As far as first speeches are con-cerned,
it is a fairly good presen-tation.
But the student's voice fal-ters
and his tone is not well-modu-lated.
His gestures are inappropri-ate
and his posture is inadequate.
Rather than stopping him for
each correction or relying upon
memory, his instructor video-tapes
the speech and replays it to the
mutual benefit of the speaker, his
classmates, and the instructor.
A student teacher enters an emp-ty
classroom. She quickly and easi-ly
assembles a portable video-tape
apparatus. Her class arrives and
the machine records a portion of
the class session. The student
teacher returns to her college
where both she and her instructor
analyze the recording.
Forecasts for the future? Hardly.
Rather, the above illustrations rep-resent
a revolution in education:
a revolution in which Bethel Col-lege
plays an active role.
This revolution—the college use
of modern video-tape equipment—
began ten to fifteen years ago
when educators first came to real-ize
the educational potentials of
the video-tape recorder. They real-ized,
for example, that with the
video-tape machine a science dem-onstration
could be performed and
taped for future replay.
A large number of students
could then observe closeups of the
Friday, November 1, 1968
experiment. The teacher would
only have to perform the experi-ment
once thus saving time and
accentuating effectiveness.
The revolution gained momen-tum
as price decreased and govern-ment
assistance enabled college
possession of such equipment to
become more of a practical reality.
The video-tape system arrived on
the Bethel scene last semester. Fi-nanced
by monies from the Classes
of 1964 and 1966 and the Depart-ments
of Speech and Education, its
obtainment was the result of a
drive spearheaded by faculty mem-bers
Dale Rott and Janet Runbeck.
The equipment consists of a
television camera, an audio-visual
recording mechanism, and a tele-vision
monitor. In addition, there
is a device called a porta-pack
which because of its easy mobility
it is compact and weighs only
10 1/2 pounds) may be used for such
purposes as student teaching. In
the words of Rott, the possession
of such equipment puts Bethel Col-lege
on a par with any private
liberal arts college in Minnesota."
To date, the equipment has seen
rather limited application but its
usage will expand as the school
year progresses. Currently, it is
being used primarily in the Speech
and Education Departments.
In the Speech Department, it is
employed in beginning and ad-vanced
speech classes, as well as
in forensics and drama. During the
spring semester, it is employed in
the Radio and Television course
(in which students actually pro-duce
their own television pro-grams).
It is also used as a pedagogical
device in the Education Depart-ment.
Its most important applica-tion
here is directed toward stu-dent
teaching.
As the year progresses, the vi-deo-
tape equipment will be used
for athletics (Coach Trager, for ex-ample,
will use it for his basket-ball
team) and for public rela-tions
(tapes can easily be made of
aspects of Bethel life).
The video-tape system has many
implications for the future. Rott is
hopeful that a television produc-tion
center will he established at
the new college campus. There,
among other utilizations, profes-sors
from both the college and
the seminary, can combine talents
to make religious television pro-grams
to be shown on regular tel-evision
stations.
Rott also foresees television mon-itors
in classrooms where "piped"
lectures and demonstrations would
supplement 'live' discussions and
teacher assistance.
Rott envisions a future in which
students will do much of their
learning by video-tapes and he
looks forward to a new dimension
in which, "Instead of students
reading the prayers of Peter Mar-shall,
Peter Marshall will be 'read-ing'
the prayers to the students."
Roger Floyd, a student in the methods of teaching
mathematics class, illustrates teaching an equation by
means of an overhead projector while being taped and
filmed by the video equipment.

Changing moods mark road trip
by Tom Stocking
The preparation for an away
game begins long before kickoff
time Saturday. For last week's
game against Northwestern, the
players had to pack their equip-ment
and load it on the bus by
12 noon Friday. After a word of
prayer by Doc Dalton, the team
waved farewell to a few loyal fol-lowers,
and began the day's jour-ney
only 15 minutes late.
Most of the players had good
intentions to study, but one by
one they succumbed to sleep. At
Mankato, however a rook game was
organized in the back of the bus,
and soon most of the sleepers
awoke to the sounds of "I pass,"
"what's trump?" and an occasional
scream.
Aroused by one especially bestial
shriek, Vaughn Ekbom decided
that it was no longer possible to
sleep, and began to study for his
Patterns of Christian Thought test.
Running into one particularly dif-ficult
question, Vaughn enlisted
the aid of assistant coach Jerry
Oas, an ordained minister.
When someone commented about
the dilapidated condition of Oas's
Bible, he proceeded to quote a
newspaper clipping which said, "A
person with a Bible that is falling
apart, is not falling apart himself."
Extempore Coffee House Pro-gram
Director, David Horstmann,
has announced that a six week se-minar
on the "Christian-Commu-nist
Dialogue" is scheduled to be-gin
Sunday, November 3, at the
Extempore.
Dale Berry, a shrewd and witty ob-server
of mankind, very wisely
pointed out that there were, of
course, exceptions to every rule.
The rook game and the Bible
study were the only centers of ac-tivity
on the bus. Some persisted
in their various readings, others
continued to sleep, and a few
watched the brown fields as the
bus sped on through southwestern
Minnesota.
At 5:05 P.M. the team arrived at
the Sunset Motel of Sioux Falls,
South Dakota. After eating at the
Truck Haven cafe, the players re-turned
to the motel for the night.
The Sunset has a television in
every room, and according to an
unofficial survey the movie Shock
Treatment was the overwhelming
favorite with Olympic basketball a
distant second.
The night was chilly, and the
scream of air force jets taking off
at a nearby field made sleeping dif-ficult,
especially if one was shar-ing
a double bed with another
player. The next morning dawned
bright and beautiful, and after a
steak and eggs breakfast at the
Truck Haven, the team made its
way to Orange City, Iowa, to play
the Red Raiders of Northwestern
College. ,
Currier has one book published,
"No Easter for East Germany", and
has just finished a book on the

Even in Orange City there were
fans to cheer on the Royals. Richie
Sackett led one contingent from
St. Paul, and Dave "Andy" Ander-son,
a Bethel alumnus, brought up
some rooters from Nebraska.
The fine recovery of the Bethel
squad in the second half made all
the fans glad they had come. De-spite
the seriousness of the game.
manager Larry Swanson amused
everyone by appearing in the sec-ond
half with the halves of his
broken eyeglasses taped to his face.
Although the Royals did play
valiantly in the second half, the
final outcome left them the loser.
In the locker room the sentiments
of pride were mixed with those of
bitter disappointment as the play-ers
gathered their gear.
The cramped ride back is always
difficult after a hard game, and is
especially painful after a defeat.
Nevertheless, after dining at Eh-ler's
Supper Club in Worthington,
the players' spirit rose. Singing
filled the bus for the final three
hours, and gradually good feeling
was restored.
At 11 p.m. Saturday night the
Greyhound pulled up before the
fieldhouse, and another road trip
was completed.
Halloween party
In honor of Halloween and the
return of the Great Pumpkin there

faculty, and their spouses are in-vited.
The party is carnival style and
includes such "fun games" as a
pumpkin carving contest, bobbing
for apples in a bathtub, and a pie
eating race. Faculty members are
in charge of those notorious booths
where prizes of great value can be
won.
In addition, there is a Slave Sale
and dorm competition for the best

Symposium
by Wally Borner
Within the next few years, soccer will be Bethel's major
sport. This is not to say that football, basketball, and baseball
teams will fold, but that in terms of intercollegiate competi-tion,
Bethel will be on par with any college in the area.
This year's soccer team has a 0-4-1 record, which is simi-lar
to that of the football team. However, with a comparison of
records, a few other factors must be taken into consideration.
First, the soccer team does not have a coach. Second, they
practice about three days a week for about an hour, and third,
not all the players are able to be at each practice.
The plus factors for this year's team are as follows:
1. They have played a schedule of five games without the
aid of coaching and well organized practices. In essence, the
team has overcome these drawbacks.
2. They have operated without a budget. The team has
balls and shinguards which were purchased a couple years ago
and that was all the equipment needed. The only expense was
for a broken window.
3. Each player, because he has volunteered for a club,
plays for the enjoyment of a great sport, and because of this,
puts out 100 percent.
Now, looking to the future, we can see three things which
will make soccer a major sport.
1. The expenses, which are one of the biggest obstructions
in the department, are minimal.
2. The club is not far behind any of the other colleges in
the area because it is a new sport, and Bethel can recruit right
along with them.
3. It doesn't take 40 or 50 men to build a good team. In
fact, operating with 12 dependable and able players, a winning
season is easily attainable.
Concordia of St. Paul and Pillsbury already have good soccer
teams which rank above their football teams. I am not advo-cating
a post-mortem on the football team, because I don't feel
that it is dead, and I expect an upward trend in the next few
years.
I am only saying that with the support of the administra-tion,
Bethel can be known as a soccer power in the midwest.
That may not sound real impressive now, but soccer is grow-ing
and it is becoming a saving factor in many other small
college athletic programs.
Falcon pulled out another
squeaker last week as they tipped
the revamped Second Old team in
overtime 8-7. Falcon scored on a
thirty yard pass from Dale Saxon
to Dan Larson and the extra point
was from Sax to Wayne Carpenter.
Second Old tied the game with
the hopes of a big upset when
Jim Duddleston connected with
Dale Finch for both the TD and
extra point to send the game into
overtime.
Second Old penetrated about 20
yards to start the overtime and
Falcon went to a fourth and 10
situation. This was the last play
of the game and Saxon threw the
ball to Steve Hanson who jumped
and grabbed the ball one foot past
the flag to pull out the narrow
victory.
Off Campus cruised past First
Floor 20-0. The winners had only
seven men but held the opponents
to no first downs, only two pass
completions, and a substantial mi-nus
net yardage.
In the first half, Jim Delich
tossed to Dave Schmidt for 30
yards and Dave raced the final
30 to put the initial 'score on the
board. The extra point was scored
by the same duo.
Later in the half, with Off Cam-pus
on the First Floor 20, Delich
pitched out to halfback Wally Bor-ner
who threw to Ralph Sheppard
in the end zone. The half then end-ed
13-0.
The only score in the second
half came when Delich threw a
30 yard pass which Borner caught
over the shoulder on the dead run
just as he reached the goal line.
In other action, Pit upset Third
Old as Ron Carlson hit Dave An-derson
on passes of 20 and 30
yards. Lou Duhon connected with
Gary Clark for the Third Old score
as they went down 13-7.
Faculty defeated New Dorm by
a score of 6-2. Coach Trager passed
to Dale Stephens for the Faculty
touchdown and then slowfoot Tra-ger
was caught by a New Dorm
defenseman for the first New Dorm
score of the year.
Second New defeated Third New
by the same score. Garry Hassel-blad
threw to Rick Berggren. Then
Berggren was caught in the end
zone by Tim Eddy for a safety on
a kickoff.
Falcon is leading all teams in
offense and defense. They have
scored an average of 17.75 points
a game and have given up 3.25
points. Off Campus is second in
offense and Second New has the
runner up spot in defense.

in final meet
The Bethel Harriers ran into
the cellar in their last meet of
the year as they lost to St. Olaf
and Bemidji. The score was St.
Olaf 24, Bemidji 50, and Bethel
54.
The race was run on a warm,
sunny morning at Como on a four
mile course. Bemidji's Tom Holmes
took first place with a time of
21:48, followed by two St. Olaf
men and Bethel's Bill Geigert in
fourth place with a time of 22:41.
Rich Swanson took seventh and
Dick Olson placed ninth, but none
of the other Bethel runners could
place low enough for Bethel to
take second in the meet. Bethel
runners comprised five of the last
seven places.
Dwight Carlson, a transfer stu-dent
from Wheaton College, is in-eligible
for the first semester, but
has been running with the team.
Saturday he ran the course in 22:;
54 which would have put him in
sixth place had he been eligible.
Saturday, Bethel will be running
in the NAIA district meet at Como
Park at 11 a.m.
Northwestern handed the Royals
there seventh loss of the season
last Saturday 43 to 27. Though
equaling their total offensive out-put
for the year, Bethel still fell
short of victory.
Trailing 43 to 0 at one point,
the Royals put on a great show of
spirit in putting 27 points on the
board. Sitte and Selander again
shared the quarterback position
combining for 14 completions in
33 attempts.
Though gaining 165 yards
through the air, the Royals rush-ing
game fell apart with a mere
8 yards. Northwestern gained 204
yards rushing and 115 yards pass-ing
for 319 yards total offense.
Aiding Bethel in their touch-downs
were two lost fumbles and
110 yards of penalties by North-western.
Bethel had 10 first downs
to the opponents 16.
Before the Royals could get
charged up, they found themselves
down 14 to 0. A 24-yard pass
play and a run back of a fumble
recovery gave Northwestern a lead
with less than four minutes gone.
A third TD came near the end of
the quarter.
A 30-yard punt return led to a

seconds of the half a field goal,
interception, and 57-yard run gave
Northwestern a 37-0 half time
edge.
Second half of play looked no
better as Northwestern scored on
a 69-yard screen play. Here came
a complete turn-over in the game.
With 5:54 remaining in the third
stanza, Murray Sitte scored.
Three minutes later an intercep-tion
by Tom Swanson led to an-other
TD for Bethel. Sitte again
scored; this time going 34 yards.
Northwestern immediately fumbled
with Tim Weko falling on the ball.
Three downs later Sitte had
scored his third touchdown of the
day. A successful kick by Harfst
brought the score to 43-20.
An enlivened Bethel team came
out in the fourth quarter hoping
to overcome the Northwestern
lead. Three minutes into the quar-ter
Sitte threw 14 yards to Jim
Wessman and a TD. The extra
point brought the score to 43-27.
Continual Bethel threats the re-mainer
of the game fell short,
however.
This Saturday the Royals travel
to Bemidji. It will be their final
game of a thus far winless sea-son.
